Aimard/RSB/Popelka - Schoenberg and Mahler, 9 March 2024
PhilharmonieSchoenberg: Piano Concerto, op.42 Mahler: Symphony no.1 Pierre-Laurent Aimard (piano)Berlin Radio Symphony OrchestraPetr Popelka (conductor)Images: Peter MeiselThe world’s near-silence for Schoenberg’s anniversary year continues to deafen. Perhaps everywhere is waiting for September, when his birthday falls, and all will be revealed in a flurry of ‘new season’ announcements. And perhaps eternal Friede will descend upon the Erde this Christmas.

Harnasie, the ballet-pantomime which Szymanowski worked on from 1923 to 1931, not only uses the music but sets its story in the Tatra mountains too. It remains, however, an unjustly neglected work.
